 Wendell Slade runs a barber shop in Detroit. His specialty is women. I mean bobbing their hair! lie says he hopes long hair never comes back. I don’t imagine he would be a barber long if it did.

Ilarvey Allion is one of the force, and he also feeds and cares for the monkeys. Arlene Rathbun has been married and divorced twice. She just can t find a man to suit her. Russell Ilauselman was directing a jazz band in Florida. They play to cheer up disappointed land buyers of ’2'» and ’26. My suds were getting low, so I hurriedly blew another bubble and behld Lucille Haywood, a second Anna Pavlowa, dancing to her hearts’ content. As the bubble finally floated away, the mist cleared, the suds disappeared, and I let the pipe fall to the ground, the stem breaking in the fall. As the sound of the clash finally died away I was alone in the darkness with just the memories of mv happv days spent in dear old A. II.

 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY ■ v Early one evening in 1!)40, as I was wandering alone in the old rose garden at my studio at Lake James, I came to a strange pool which seemed to be bubbling with a heavy suds. Beside the pool lay a queer, long-stemmed pipe. I was curious, so 1 sat down and. picking up the pipe, 1 blew a bubble. As it floated out into the air I found, much to my amazement, that there was a picture in it. I saw Ella Ott and Marion Dick at Fort Wayne, where they were running a home for the feeble-minded. Of course they were married, and from all reports, very happy. '1 hen the bubble broke, but I was so excited that I blew one after another and in each I saw a picture of a classmate. There was Fern Adams applying her famous “stay forever” marcel to Mildred McNett, who was busy writing poetry for her new book, “Conquered at Last.” Ava Lou Hendry was busily drawing cartoons of Henry Waller, who has been arguing the marriage question with her since their high school days. Ava Lou is making lots of money with her clever cartoons and Henry certainly is the “goat.” The next bubble held a picture of a stage in New York, where Hershell Fast was stairing as Uncle Tom in the ever popular play, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and doubling as the bloodhound in one scene. Ruth Bovee was little Eva, famous for her golden curls and cunning way of saying “Uncle Tom.” Glenn Beatty was shown at work on a beautiful piece of sculpture. 11 is divine model was Esther Jenkins. I wonder if he got his experience from moulding dough in his fathers’ bakery. Ted Williamson is in the movie business, being a first-class director. He was directing a new play, “Hit and Miss.” in which Floyd Perkins, a second Harold Lloyd, and Winifred llarshman, were starring. Cornelia Maslen was running a successful olive factory and Wendall Orwig is pickling the olives for her. Of course Gerald Hnbbel was a dentist. The bubble showed him extracting the teeth from an old elephant, while George McConnell manicured its toe nails. Evelyn Snowberger was shown as Lady Macbeth in tin “sleep-walking” scene. She was especially famous for her sighs and groans. Perhaps she got her training from her high school singing. Much to my surprise, I saw Helene Holderness standing on a soap box, swinging her arms and lecturing against the use of cosmetics by high school girls. Hugh Sanders was with her, playing a banjo and singing negro spirituals between Helene’s speeches. They were also advertising dustless face powder made by Harold Shuman after his wife, Yolande Lowther, had so often calleel him to account for face powder on his coat lapel. Button Lewis was in a tropical country, probably Cuba, and was president of a large ice company. Edward Willis was it senator from Indiana and hud a bill in the House concerning airplane traffic. He says the traffic is so heavy in some places that it is necessary to have laws controlling it, as well as automobile or any other kind of traffic, including liquor. Collins Burns has been teaching public speaking in Angola High School but has been advised to discontinue his work there and rest, as he is suffering from the effects of overwork. After he has recuperated sufficiently, he expects to go on the stage as a dramatic impersonator. Esther lekes was running a barbecue stand in Angola. Everyone seems to be crazy about the good things she serves. Fred Starr stands behind the counter and cries. Hot dog! Hot dog!” He used to be always saying that in Miss Powell’s English class. ■ ■ I -'1'''—•- ■ :--- igi--------- ■ ■ V 'i V
